An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Show Boat, the 1951 George Sidney epic romantic riverboat gambling musical ("MGM'S Glorious New Show Boat"; "All Star!"; "It's New! Hundreds in the cast!"; "It's the 'Gone With the Wind' of musicals!"; "Spectacular in color by Technicolor!"; "Famed Jerome Kern - Oscar Hammerstein, II Musical"; "From the Immortal Musical Play 'Show Boat' by Jerome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein, II"; "Based on Edna Ferber's Novel") starring Kathryn Grayson, Ava Gardner, Howard Keel, Joe E. Brown, Marge & Gower Champion, Robert Sterling, Agnes Moorehead, and William Warfield (who sings "Old Man River", which had been sung by Paul Robeson in the 1936 version, which also starred Irene Dunne, Allan Jones, Charles Winninger, and Helen Morgan). There had been a 1929 version, but that was initially filmed as a silent, and then some music was hastily added just before it was released. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. The poster has creases, smudges and tears of varying lengths around the edges (partially repaired with tape from the back at upper left - see our image). The image area is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
